to Drawing II or go straight into any other course in the drawing
section. The other courses below, all intermediate level, roughly
fall into observational drawing or expressive drawing camps as
follows:
Gain confidence and skills in drawing as you work through a
number of projects aimed at increasing your perceptive abilities
and eye-hand coordination. Focus will be on the elements of

ART TRAVEL | OCTOBER, 2014
We are planning a travel program to the ancient sacred cities of
Uzbekistan for October, 2014. At the cultural crossroads of
Central Asia, Uzbekistan is rich in UNESCO sites that
have long been symbols of oriental beauty
and mystery. Visit the cities that were trade and
intellectual hubs on the Silk Road: Samarkand, Khiva,
Bukhara and Tashkent.

TRAVEL PROGRAM - UZBEKISTAN
TRIP ESCORT: GERALD FORSETH
The cities of Uzbekistan have been cultural crossroads where East meets West for over a thousand years. Invaded, conquered and
ruled by a shifting mélange of Persian, Ottoman, Muslim and Christian warriors, Uzbekistan is rich in archeological treasures: palaces,
mosques, and sepulchers immortalizing emperors, tyrants, and caliphs; ancient cities and markets. The sweeping scale of the scenery
is a perfect counterpoint to the elaborate turquoise mosaics that cover many structures.
Come with ACAD off the beaten track to see the splendor, vastness and exotic markets of the rich Fergana Valley and its Silk Road
cities: Samarkand, Khiva, Bukhara and Tashkent. We will travel by private van with a local guide and our Trip Escort, Architect Gerald
Forseth, jumping on a plane when the distance is great.
This Travel Program brings a small group to Uzbekistan when harvest is underway and the local food is diverse, fresh and plentiful. We
will stay in hotels and visit the architectural highlights of each city as well as visit the markets with their silks, carpets, brasswork and
other artisans. Expect to eat well, see fabulous structures and scenery, walk ancient streets with people in local dress and participate
in timeless customs like shopping from camel caravans. An interpreter will travel with us to increase your understanding of the sights
and activities. Every day is full with activities and different destinations, which you are free to join or to venture off on your own.
Please join us for Travel Talks on Uzbekistan by our Trip Escort, Architect Gerald Forseth, who will provide some history of the area,
images from his travels in Uzbekistan, and explain details of the program. Travel Talks are free and open to everyone.
Uzbekistan Travel Talks are scheduled for:
